Moldova odds Eurovision

"DoReDoS" will represent the Republic of Moldova with the song "My Lucky Day" by Filip Kirkorov at the international Eurovision Song Contest 2018, which will take place in May in Lisbon, Portugal, informs MOLDPRES.

They were elected yesterday evening at the final of the Eurovision 2018 national selection, in a proportion of 50 to 50 after the jury and televoting scores, with a total score of 24 points. The artists were also supported by the author of the play, Filip Kirkorov, who promised that an entirely different show will be prepared for the evolution of the band in Lisbon.

The song performed by the band is called "My Lucky Day" and is composed by the Russian interpreter Filip Kirkorov. Philipp Kirkorov is one of Russia’s biggest superstars: he represented Russia at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. The multi-talented singer has been the man behind many Eurovision entries in recent years: Russia (2006, 2014 and 2016), Belarus (2007) and Ukraine (2008). He later declared for the national television station Moldova 1 that a special show will be prepared for the Lisbon semifinal, which differs from the one presented at the national stage.

Philipp Kirkorov is the songwriter and mastermind behind the success of “My Lucky Day”. After DoReDos won the national selection O melodie pentru Europa, Kirkorov said that his involvement with the Moldovan trio was a thank you to the country which marked his professional debut. He will continue to support DoReDos throughout their journey to Lisbon, where he will of course be present as well.

DoReDos is a Moldovan trio from Ribnita. The group consists of Marina Djundiet, Evgheni Andrianov and Sergiu Mita. They graduated from the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts in Chisinau and tried to represent Moldova at Eurovision in 2015 and 2016. They also reached the final at the X Factor TV contest in Romania. The band was formed in September 2011 and was called "Art Band". In 2015, when they joined the national stage of Eurovision, they decided to change the name of the band to "DoReDos", which signifies the respective musical notes.

Victory at the contest and the appreciation of their indisputable talent gave them new wings. They are already making plans for the future, they have decided what their debut album will be called: "Visul/The Dream", in honor of the first song of the band "DoReDos", which in the meantime became the favorite song of Moldovan public. The members of the band gained experience, figured out several secrets of show business, found many friends, more fans, received interesting suggestions, including from Russian pop music king Philipp Kirkorov, to participate in the Eurovision, in tandem with him as a songwriter.

The video for “My Lucky Day” was filmed on the Greek island of Santorini last week. Ironically, it wasn’t filmed on a very lucky day for the Moldovan trio. Although DoReDos had hoped for a warm, sunny day, the sky was partly overcast and temperatures were still frigid. Nonetheless, Marina Djundiet bravely donned a series of flowing dresses and a sunhat to throw shade for days, and DoReDos managed to convey that summer vibe flowing throughout “My Lucky Day”.
